Galway
Driven Daly still leading from the front
dublin No comments
THE PROBLEM with lighting up the sky is that everybody sees it. They see it and they talk it out and they ladle their own layers of meaning across it. Anthony Daly knew for sure the league final had changed things when friends started asking him would his Dublin side beat the handicap against Offaly. Not would they win but would they beat them by more than five points. It’s one thing having to defend a poor team; he’s done it plenty of times. It’s quite another having fend off chatter about a good one. “Jesus, I was running a...
Impressive Dublin continue on their upward curve

Dublin 0-19 Galway 2-7: SO DUBLIN keep intact their unbeaten championship record against Galway. That’s actually the last thing this game was about, but no harm noting it. What really mattered here was courage and intent and reputation – and Dublin also keep all that intact going into the Leinster final showdown against Kilkenny. Anyone still doubting whether Dublin are the real deal must surely have got their answer here on Saturday evening – because the only criticism of this performance is that Dublin should have won by more. For Galway the opposite is becoming ominously apparent. The look on...

Dublin Blow Galway away

Dublin proved beyond doubt that there is substance to the hype. They played Galway off the park for 55 minutes and then passed a real test of character in the final quarter, dealing with the concession of a second goal against the run of play and the sending off of Ryan O’Dwyer to book their place in the Leinster GAA Hurling Championship final. Although Galway inevitably came at Anthony Daly’s side in the closing stages, Dublin never looked troubled. In the end, the six-point winning margin didn’t do their superiority justice. Galway were toothless in attack, relying almost exclusively on...

Dublin hurling manager Anthony Daly admits he was ‘thrilled to bits’ with the Leinster semi-final win over Galway in Tullamore. Speaking to RTÉ’s Clare MacNamara following his team’s comprehensive 0-19 to 2-07 win over the Tribesmen the Clareman admitted: ‘I’m thrilled to bits. It was a great victory tonight’. ‘I suppose we were the best team throughout, but it’s hard to know. We were in the lead nearly all the way, but when we were down to 14 men and Galway scored their second goal it got a bit helter-skelter, but we held our nerve and held out to win.’...

Thirteen points from corner-forward Paul Ryan sent league champions Dublin into the Leinster final and confined a poor Galway to the qualifiers. Goals in either half from Joe Canning and Joe Gantley kept the Tribesmen in contention, but the sharp shooting of the Ballyboden St Enda’s man set up a rematch of the league final against Kilkenny. Dublin had Ryan O’Dwyer sent off in the second-half seconds after Galway’s second goal from an impressive Gantley, but Anthony Daly’s men had too much for Galway from start to finish. With the Cats waiting in the wings for the victors it was...
Dublin v Galway, LSHC Preview
fodh No comments
Dublin have enjoyed an excellent league campaign so far, but with that success comes pressure and Galway represent the first of three major tests the Metropolitans face in order to reach their first Division 1 final since 1946. The Dubs have racked up wins against Tipperary, Offaly and Wexford, with a draw down in Waterford leaving them as the sole remaining unbeaten team. However they now must take on the Tribesmen before facing off against the traditional powers of Kilkenny and Cork. There were positives and negatives for Dublin boss Anthony Daly to take from the win over Wexford. He...

Galway will believe they can win this but the evidence doesn’t really back that up, writes NICKY ENGLISH THIS EVENING in Tullamore is really a game to forward to, as it has all the ingredients of a great contest. Up until last week both counties would have seen this year as a great opportunity to win Leinster. I’m not sure that’s still as obviously the case as I was more impressed by Kilkenny last week than I expected to be, even allowing for Wexford’s shortcomings. But it’s still a huge match for both counties. In John McIntyre’s third year Galway...
Tribes trip up wasteful Dubs

T’S been a while coming but the Dublin hurlers’ plain-sailing start to 2011 finally hit a jagged rock yesterday in Parnell Park where they were beaten by Galway, 2-11 to 0-14, to surrender their unblemished start to the season and, vitally, top spot in Division 1 of the League. Those who believed that it had to come sometime were proved right but to say Dublin were makers of their own downfall would be to underestimate in the extreme. The biggest crowd in recent Dublin hurling memory flocked to sunny Donnycarney filled with expectation and giddiness, but most left sickened by...
Ryan’s late strike leaves Dubs reeling

Galway 2-11 Dublin  0-14 DUBLIN left Parnell Park yesterday still checking their pockets and wondering how they had been picked right at the end. It was all square as the game ticked through the 72nd minute, but just when it looked as ifDublin would extend their unbeaten run to five league games, Galway pounced for the match-winning goal. The finish was provided by Eanna Ryan, leaving Dublin bitterly disappointed at having lost a game where they enjoyed much more possession than their rivals. They also created far more chances but didn’t convert enough them into scores. Indeed, the wides differential...
